I'm creating a simple api endpoint in my Rails 4.2.6 app but am having problems with it.
When I hit the url: http://lvh.me:9077/api/v1/grubs I receive the following error:
Unable to autoload constant Api::V1::GrubsController, expected /Users/shakycode/code/grubs/app/controllers/api/v1/grubs_controller.rb to define it
Here is my routes.rb file defining the endpoint.
namespace :api do
namespace :v1 do
resources :grubs, only: [:index]
end
end
Here is my app/controllers/api/v1/grubs_controller.rb
class API::V1::GrubsController < ApplicationController
protect_from_forgery with: :null_session
before_action :destroy_session
def destroy_session
request.session_options[:skip] = true
end
def index
@grubs = Grub.all
respond_to do |format|
format.json { render json: @grubs}
end
end
end
I have a Rails 4.2.1 app where I used the same strategy, but in 4.2.6 I'm having this error occur when I try to pull against the API.
Thanks in advance!
Update: Here's the exception that is raised using better_errors in the browser:

Rails typically only capitalizes the first name of a module. In other words, Rails expects the namespace Api::V1::GrubsController
, but you're defining it as API::V1::GrubsController
.
